Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006021269A1] Surgical instruments exist for performing laparoscopic or similar minimally invasive operations that comprise two clamping parts, which can move toward to one another and which have clamping faces for holding tissue when they are closed, and comprise a cutting device with a cutting edge that, in a cutting direction, can be displaced relative to the clamping parts for cutting the held tissue. In order to improve the cutting action and to improve the durability of the cutting device, the invention provides that the cutting device extends at an acute angle to the clamping faces when they are closed.
